For No Good Reason

A little girl sinks down in the deep end And looks up towards the sky Into a little blue world of legs and of feet That look like they're in flight in a slow motion dance While the water expands the Sun's refracted light She just has to pretend she can hear the music When she starts crying in her goggles The scene becomes unclear But she keeps peering into this underworld Through the filter of her tears Which let her keep hold of the moment As if it was a souvenir She just has to pretend she knows how to use it Or maybe it's some cold hard truth that makes her cry Maybe it's an ancient past life memory recalled Maybe it's a chemical that got into her eye Or maybe it's for no good reason at all Maybe it's for no good reason at all His wife asked "How were things at work today?" As Bill walked through the door He put his coat on the chair and his keys on the table And his eyes down on the floor And he tightened his jaws and he thought how the cause And effects weren't clear anymore Figuring out how to say what's wrong He said "I know that I'll be leaving you That's all I really know But I wish I could tell What exactly compels Me to turn my steps and go Because there's so much love that you've given me And so much love that I owe It's with myself that I can't seem to get along" Or maybe he just felt the hungry hand of fate Maybe he won't rest until he's seen it fall Maybe it's the mood that he's in just for the day Or maybe it's for no good reason at all Maybe it's for no good reason at all An actor was found dead today in his Culver City home And with no evidence of foul play It seemed he'd acted on his own The position of his body Looked like he was reaching for the phone Makes you wonder who he was gonna call Maybe all his demons were settling their debts Or maybe all the pressure finally drove him to the wall Maybe there were secrets that he needed to protect Or maybe it's for no good reason at all Maybe it's for no good reason, no good reason, no good reason at all
